Cant edit google cal events on iPhone

I have tried posting this several times on googles helps site and getting no help, so thought it might be something on the iphone side? I have recently noticed some syncing problems between my google secondary calendars and my iPhone. Twice I have had to recreate two different calendars because they just stopped showing up on my iPhone. That seemed to solve that problem for the time being? The issue Im having now, is that if I create an event in my google cal in one of the secondary calendars, it automatically shows up as an event invitation on my iphone and wont allow me to edit it from there. I have checked and rechecked the google settings and cant seem to figure this out. Something seems messed up with the two way syncing. If I create the event on my iphone and then go back and try to edit it from my google cal, for example add an alert, it doesnt show up on my phone. My account is set up through exchange. Not sure what happened because these problems all started recently for some reason?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

I'm having a similar issue.


More information:

When creating an event on my iphone, it syncs fine with google calendar and I can still edit it on my iphone. But once I update it on google calendar, the iphone calendar invite changes and I am no longer allowed to edit it - all I am allowed to do is "maybe", "decline", or "accept" the "invitation from <google calendar name>".


NOTE: On creation from iphone, the calendar was not an invitation from anyone but just an event I created.

Have you set it up as a Gmail account or an Exchange account?

Also, have you gone to https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect and checked all of the calendars to enable them to sync corectly?


If you have set it up as an Exchange acount, you'll need to go to m.google.com/sync instead

eventhough im replying 4 years later, i thought what i found would atleast help smeone in the furure maybe


i have an iphone 5S


i went to phone's settings >> select "Mail,Contacts,Calendars" >>> scroll down until u find "Default Calendar" amd select it >>> make my gmail the default calendar (i made my google calendar the default calendar on my phone)


i figured that before doing this my iCal was the default one, so that i was able to edit iCal events and not google ones.. i was previously a samsung user, so all my data was synced with my google account...now that i changed the default calendar to google, i can edit them from my iphone
